"Concerning the Chinese Government's massive arrests of the 9 members
of newly formed Chinese Democratic Party, we, the Free China Movement,
has been entrusted by Mr. Xu Wenli, the representative of Chinese Opposition
forces, Mr. Qin Yong Min, of Wuhan China Human rights Watch, Wang Xizhe,
Spokesperson for all in-China Political opposition forces, and the families
of the arrested members of the Chinese Democratic Parties, are hereby to
issue the following urgent communique, respectifully request for international
attention for the fate of these political prisoners and the ominous move
by the communist regime of the People's Republic.

The Free China Movement has noticed, with deep concern, that the most
recent human rights abuse and most recent political persecution against
Chinese opposition force systematically, and ruthlessly launched by the
Chinese Communist dictators in the name of "the People's Republic".
We received the urgent call for help from our brotherly comrades fighting
for human rights and democracy inside China, having formed the Chinese
Democratic Party, the first opposition party since the CCP took power in
1949. We were notified hours after the massive arrests which took place
right following the departure of the President Clinton. The recent development
in communist China has further proven that the Clinton administration's
trip to the People's Republic is a fiasco, a complete, and unprecedented
failure in the entire history of the U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy.
President's eulogy and his irresponsible endorsement to CCP's Party Chief
Jiang Zemin has imposed a lethal harm and total destruction against development
of democratization inside China.

The Human rights in communist China has not a bit been improved even
though President Clinton has irresponsibly, and unconditionally endorsed
these ruthless communist dictators with all the moral, financial, technical
support, back-ups and assistance. By taking this opportunity, the Free
China Movement sternly condemn the Clinton Administration's unprecedented
betrayal against freedom, and its selling the vital interests of the world
peace, and security to the lethal communist forces in Beijing for free.

By taking this opportunity, we, the Free
China Movement, call for the Congress of the United States to have
an immediate reassessment of the President Clinton's PRC trip by reassessing
its harmful consequence of his irresponsible support and unconditional
endorsement of the communist Beijing Butchers. We also call for immediate
suspension of MFN trade status to the People's Republic through congressional
action.

We would like to raise the awareness of international community that
if the present communist hardliner dictators in Zhong Nan Hai has any tendency
to democratizing communist China, it can be pushed to move towards that
direction only through enough international pressure which shall leave
no other alternative way for those dictators to maneuver otherwise.
If the President Clinton's unprincipled, irresponsible grant of immoral
endorsement and unconditional support to the current Chinese communist
regime, not only the future of a free and democratic China will be burried,
the entire mankind will on day suffer the Hitler type disaster in our visible
future. If the Clinton Administration is unwilling or unable to see
its own fatal mistake in China policy, it, while being allied with the
communist enemy against mankind, against human civilization, at the same
side of the history with the world's only remaining totalitarian lethal
power, fall into the world's most formidable enemy of freedom.

We urge Chinese communist authority immediately and unconditionally
release the members of the newly formed Chinese
Democratic Party.

When President Clinton was visiting China, the Chinese Government and
the President Jiang Zeming demonstrated the gesture of enlightenment which
has won high acclaim from international community. Immediately after
President Clinton left, a new wave of political persecution was launched
by Chinese Communist China against Chinese political prisoners. At
about eight o'clock PM, the Public Security Bureau of Hangzhou arrested
the following founding members of Forming Committee of Chinese Democratic
Party In Zhejiang Province: Wang You Cai, Wang Donghai, Wang Peijian, Cheng
Fan, Wu Gaoxing; Immediately afterwards, the PSB arrested Wang Qiang, Zhu
Zhengming, Fang Xiaofeng, Zhu Yufu, at this moment, the wave of arrest
is still going on. The Police authority is searching and pursuing another
CDP leader Lin Hui.

We urgently call to international community for its full awareness to
Chinese communist dictators' human rights abuse and we call for international
community to express stern condemnation, we also call international community
to build up pressure on Chinese government.

Chinese authorities arrested our CDP leaders with the charge of
"Conspiring to overthrow the government". The charge is libelous
and of distortion of facts. The CDP has declared its founding principles
to the entire world:

"CDP strongly believe:the provisions and the context of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights have specified the inalienable rights which
shall not be infringed or violated. The CDP is fully committed to fight
against the violation of human rights.

The CDP advocates fair competition in both economic and political area,
oppose political monopoly and economic monopoly in any forms; The CDP is
also committed to promote the transparency in political life and administrative
efficiency, the CDP calls for social and political institutional transformation
through peaceful and orderly manner, we oppose chaos, we oppose the removal
of violence by using violence. We believe that we should achieve
our goals through peaceful, rationale and non-violent means. We support
that political confrontation should be replaced by civilized dialogues.
We oppose terrorism.

The CDP's purpose is to establish a constitutional democracy through
direct and democratic election. We advocate an establishment of a check
and balance system with which no power shall be built upon violent forces
by any individuals or any groups. To achieve this goal, the armed
forces must be nationalized, the greenhouse which produces political despotism
and political corruption shall be completely damped whereas the nation
of China may get rid of ruthless dictatorship of proletariat."

The above cited purpose and principles of the CDP clearly demonstrates
that the CDP is not a party seeking for overthrowing government through
conspiracy. The CDP is a political party which calls for fair political
competition with the CCP. The rights that the CDP advocates have
been specified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The PRC Government and President Jiang Zemin openly committed before
President Clinton and the International community that the People's Republic
would become the signatory to the UN International Convention on Civil
and Political Rights, in fact, the People's Republic today still cannot
tolerate the existence of any opposition parties in China. The People's
Republic has mobilized violent police force to launch a large scale of
massive arrests against us. This episode has clearly demonstrated
the PRC Government's phony promise for political democratization; It also
conspicuously indicates the great failure of President Clinton's China
visit. We the Chinese Democratic Party strongly oppose the kow tow
policy to the Chinese Communists, We hope that the international media
also express its opposition to the pacifism.

We believe that the Chinese Communist dictators are unable to eradicate
the existence of the CDP and its spirit. We also believe that the
advancement of Chinese pro-democracy movement, no matter how difficult
it is, will not be eliminated. The second command center of the CDP
is still in operation. This is our voice be heard by the International
community.
